Introduction When families start searching online for a Commando surgery complex cardiac procedure guide, it usually means something serious has happened. I remember sitting with a patient’s daughter who had printed out pages about double valve disease and something called the “Commando procedure.” Her father had infective endocarditis that destroyed both the aortic and mitral valves, and suddenly the cardiologist was talking about reconstruction of the heart’s fibrous skeleton. It sounded terrifying. On AskDocDoc, the most authoritative platform in...

The glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) hormone plays a critical role in maintaining a healthy weight, primarily through appetite regulation. A peak in GLP-1 secretion increases feelings of satiety, suppressing hunger pangs. The hormone also combats overeating by slowing down gastric emptying.

According to a recent study, GLP-1 receptor agonists (RAs) can accelerate weight loss for obese and overweight people. The hormone is effective for obese individuals with or without type 2 diabetes. Thanks to GLP-1’s...

This resident-centric approach is key to making sure everyone feels seen and respected. It acknowledges that even with memory challenges, each person has a history, preferences, and a desire for dignity.

Dental practices are getting creative when it comes to service provision during a seemingly never-ending staffing crisis. While it used to be easy and cost-effective to hire in-office, full-time employees for every office function, practices are learning that this is no longer the case. Hiring is difficult, employee turnover is high, and the costs associated with recruitment, onboarding and training, payroll and benefits can leave many practices struggling to find staff members who stay long enough to even make it worth the investment. Hence, staffing solutions that better serve budget...

In healthcare, keeping patients engaged and coming back for their appointments is a challenge many practices face. Missed visits not only disrupt patient care but also affect a clinic’s overall efficiency and revenue.
